Fed up with the all too regular low grade racing the sport serves up these days? Weary of studying racecards that exist only for the bookies and not us punters? Tired of three or four horse races? Sick of class 5 and 6 dross?

Yes, I am!

But the Cheltenham Festival approaches and, for me and many long term supporters of the sport, it cannot arrive soon enough.

All the best thoroughbred dishes will be served up to us in one week, between March 15-18th.

Like eating too much sticky toffee pudding, we will be full up with top quality National Hunt racing come the end of that week. And not a moment too soon.

In the past I have tipped many a winner and profitable punt at the festival, including winners at 40/1 and 16/1 in 2012. Why not come and join VG TIPS now and be a member when the roar goes up at Prestbury Park and the Cheltenham Festival begins?
